From the Press Release
Pack your swimsuits and bait your lines as the season of high-summer adventures returns to Telara on July 25th with an incredible array of new content. The Architects' threats have yet to be revealed, so for now the Ascended can rest, relax and revel in the summer sunshine together through scavenger hunts, fishing adventures and the opportunity to catch rare companions. 


Not all can enjoy the summer festivities for long, however, as Swarmlord Khargroth gathers his followers and plans to wreak havoc across the plains of Telara in the Exuvia of Khargroth zone event. A treasure-trove of loot awaits in this upcoming event!
